Imphal, December 26 2008:
THE 41ST foundation dayof Manipur People's Party (MPP) was observed today at the office complex of the party.
Party president Dr L Chandramani opened the celebration by hoisting the party flag.
Dr L Chandramani, MLAs O Joy, Dr Ng Bijoy, Dr I Ibohalbi, Rk Anand, former Union Minister Th Chaoba and former minister Dr Nimaichand Luwang formed the presidium and sat on the dais.
Dr Chandramani, while giving his speech, said in the past when the anti defection law was not enforced, MPP won a land slide victory in 1972 and formed government.
But the Congress threw huge amounts of money and toppled the government.
In 1974, people of Manipur voted MPP to power, but again the Congress over-threw the MPP government, he said.
Today despite having a government, there is no rule of law in Manipur, Chandramani said and added, If the party comes to power, it will see that rule of law was maintained.
O Joy said, MPP came into being to protect Manipur.
If MPP had not come into existence, the state would have been finished.
Th Chaoba said, the MPP will win the Moirang AC by-election by polling 71% of the total votes.
He said, MPP would come to power after six months.
MLA Rk Anand said, the Congress government in Manipur is only for the the name sake, it has no policies.
